Critical recommendations

high Batting
Strike rotation needs urgent work

Strike rate of 58.4 means long dot-ball chains and pressure on partners. Drill singles into gaps, soft-hand placement, and calling.

high Bowling
Economy under pressure

Going at 8.54 an over. Tighten the stock ball: hit a consistent length, cut out the 4-ball (short and wide / overpitched on the pads).

medium Batting
High duck rate

Out for 0 in 10% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.

medium Fielding
Low overall fielding impact

0.16 dismissals per match across 93 matches. Add direct-hit and ground-fielding reps to turn half-chances into run outs.

Strengths

How these ratings are calculated
Overall
Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 20 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 31 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
Level
×0.30 for the level played (Club 40). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
Form
Rated on the last 40 matches since 27 Oct 2024. Older cricket still shows in the career figures but does not count.
Fielding
Outfield: 13 catches + 1 run outs (0 direct, 1 assisted) in 93 matches — 0.15 per match.
Batting
Not rated: 86 innings at 16.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
Bowling
21 wickets in 46 matches bowled in (of 93 played) — 0.46 per match at 45.0, economy 8.54, strike rate 31.6.
